Kazuhm Expands Support for Microsoft Azure and Windows for Distributed Computing Platform

SAN DIEGO, Ca.—October 1, 2019—Kazuhm,
a container-based distributed computing platform, today announced the expansion
of support across Microsoft Windows desktops and servers, as well as Microsoft
Azure cloud for container-based distributed computing. Using the Kazuhm
platform, customers can now connect all their Microsoft-based resources to form
a powerful compute fabric with the ability to process containerized workloads
including multimedia applications such as transcoding or data science
applications such as Apache Spark.

As of August 2019, Microsoft Windows held >78% of the
desktop OS market according to Statcounter. However, most container management solutions do
not address this massive amount of compute resource in distributed computing
environments—specifically allowing users to run workloads on desktops.
Furthermore, Microsoft reported 41% growth in the Azure
commercial cloud business in
the first three months of 2019. Kazuhm has extended support for customers using
Microsoft servers and desktops for distributed workload processing to now
include Azure cloud for unified containerized workload processing from desktop
to server to cloud.

“Digital transformation means not only the ability to
incorporate cloud-based compute resources, but the ability to optimize all the
resources of an enterprise, whether those resources are desktops, servers, or even
edge devices,” said Tim O’Neal, Kazuhm co-founder and CEO. Microsoft’s
dominance in the enterprise is extending from Windows desktops and servers
towards Azure cloud services, and Kazuhm allows enterprise customers to take
advantage of any part of their portfolio of Microsoft assets to process
workloads in the most efficient way possible.”
